Low-cost spot bitcoin ETFs threaten to erode Coinbase margin, trading volume

Analysts are warning that the introduction of low-cost spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) could negatively impact Coinbase, the largest listed cryptocurrency exchange. The availability of ETFs, which offer exposure to Bitcoin at a cheaper cost, could lead to a decline in Coinbase's trading volume, margins, and commissions. Additionally, it may divert potential customers to equity brokers. While Coinbase maintains no plans to reduce transaction fees, analysts believe the exchange may need to lower fees to remain competitive. However, Coinbase could still benefit from the adoption of Bitcoin as a currency and potential custody fees from holding the underlying assets of ETFs.
